Join Mimi as she shares her personal journey in learning the importance of setting boundaries and saying "no." The ultimate session goal is to empower attendees to say "no" strategically to better prioritize their time and focus on what's most important to them and their work life. Not only is saying "no" necessary for our own personal health, but knowing how to say "no" strategically leads to more focused productivity. Mimi explores strategies on how to say no to different audiences, from managers to colleagues. All of us need to know how to say "no" to be our best selves and to perform our best work.

This session is for anyone who: 

  • Finds themselves saying "yes" to additional responsibilities too often
  • Struggles with balancing their own wants with the needs of others 

By the end of this session, you will:

  • Learn why it is often so difficult to say "no" in a personal and historical context
  • Learn the importance of saying "no" not only for yourself but for others, 
  • Identify strategies on how to say "no" in different contexts and work through barriers to saying "no" 
  • Be able to say "no" in at least one situation when you leave this session 
  • Learn how saying "no" can actually lead to better productivity and more success, 

 Once you leave this session, you will be ready to say "no" (strategically) and use your time in ways that are most important to you!
